 It is vital for parents to teach their children the importance of budgeting and money management early in life.  Piggy banks are great items for children to own while in the learning process.

Money Savvy Generation offers a piggy bank that is divided into four chambers: 

1.  Save
2.  Spend
3.  Donate
4.  Invest 

Explain to your children what each of the categories mean and what percentage of thier money should go into each chamber.

 According to their website at www.msgen.com:

“It gives a child a sense of control which leads to a sense of security.
When you give children the Money Savvy Pig, you give them control over the money in their lives. In a respectful way, the Money Savvy Pig asks children what they think is the best choice and allows them to make it. A sense of control leads to a sense of security. “

This tool will be fun and interactive while you pass on your money intellect down to younger generations.  More more information on how you can teach your kids about money, visit Money Savvy Generation at www.msgen.com
